RE: I was never great at introductions... Here it goes!

Hello, IDG, and Welcome to Steemit.

I too took over a month before I started on Steemit. But during that month, I had all kinds of ideas of what I could bring, and now I'm posting various things on this platform.

As a writer / editor, I can honestly say that your post is well-written and that I believe you have much that you can bring to this great platform. Just remember, writing is craft, and inspiration plays only one part in composing any good text.

Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.

  1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
  2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
  3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
  4. Be yourself.
  5. Be interesting and informative.
  6. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
  7. Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

p.s. The fact that you wrote "pique my interest" instead of the standard mistake indicates that you are truly a qualified writer. Just write about whatever interests you, polish it up, and post it.

I really appreciate you taking the time to give me a few pointers and compliments on my writing, it means a lot. I will take all those points to consideration as they seem the most likely ways to attract followers and earn rewards.

I hope that it won't take me an additional 4 months to write a new post on here. It really wasn't that bad, although it was daunting at first, once I got into it. This isn't that scary!

OK. I'm now following you, so I hope to see some posts eventually ... or soon.

By the way, here's a recent post I made about enlarging photos on Steemit. If you post photos, it might come in handy.
